What is it about?
Imagine stepping into a virtual world where objects aren't what they seem. Our study delves into the unseen risks of altering the appearance of 3D objects in virtual and augmented reality. We explore how these changes can be misused, potentially misleading users or compromising their security. Our goal? To pave the way for safer virtual experiences by identifying and addressing these hidden dangers. This research is a step towards understanding and securing the immersive worlds of VR and AR for everyone.

Why is it important?
Our work is pioneering in highlighting the security risks posed by the disguise of 3D objects in immersive virtual environments, an area not extensively explored before. As XR technologies become more integrated into our daily lives, understanding and mitigating these risks is crucial for user safety and privacy. Our findings offer groundbreaking insights, setting the foundation for developing more secure XR systems, ensuring a safer future in the expanding realm of virtual and augmented reality.
Perspectives
Delving into the risks posed by disguised 3D objects in XR environments is more than academic curiosity—it's a personal commitment to ensuring the burgeoning world of virtual reality remains secure and trustworthy. This research, born from witnessing the rapid integration of XR in various sectors, reflects my passion for pioneering solutions that protect users. It's a journey towards a reality where the virtual world's endless possibilities don't come at the cost of user safety.
